The horse changes hands multiple times until it's reunited with its original owner, Tom Trent, and his daughter Jean, who never gives up on the horse. With renewed dedication, the horse faces more intense training, failures, and setbacks before finally getting a second chance at the prestigious Santa Anita racetrack on its third birthday.
